Very well said. Yeah these things do help a lot, when i was new here, i confused a bit and almost were not able to post my blog for about 4 to 5 days. But now I am able to know some rules and this blog of yours will surely help me ans many other new bloggers and lb members here.
I don’t think and I never heard of anyone getting 22 cents for posting blog, but 15 Cents, but yes I haven’t tried posting a long 800 Words blog, i am blogging for about 330 to 400 words on an average and for comments, its sometimes difficult to comment for about 170 Words, so that it may earn 2 cents but still uts good and worth. Besides I am also still new here and learning with experience and will share my experience with You and other Literacy Base Members as well

OK Ceci. Somebody said you could earn more than 15 cents for a blog post which was an eye-opening and very helpful tip. But I did not know that the number of words in comments mattered. News to me!

But it really doesn’t matter to me. I make comments according to what I’m trying to communicate. It could be as little as 20 words, but I do my best not to make my comments 300 words. If I find myself making a comment or contributing to or starting a topic in a group/forum and suddenly realize that can be turned into a blog post, it gets turned into a blog post! That’s how it works for me.

What I’m trying to figure out is why my blog posts are being avoided? Nobody’s commenting. Are my posts that boring or are they too complicated to understand?? (O.o) I need to find the “magic post formula” to get folks to comment AND share. Whew! It’s a tough mission but I’m working on it! 🙂 😀

Those are great statistics about word count for comments. I wish there was word count for our blogs.

When it comes to the blogs i am not sure because i am new here and haven’t started blogging yet. I mainly put myself into commenting other blogs and surfing around to see how the site works.

I have, however, noticed the earnings due to length of comments also. I am usually a big commenter. If i comment on something then it is because i have something to say and i like to try and explain myself as much as i can.

I noticed the amounts due to length because i did make one or two comments a little smaller than most and saw the difference in the balance.

If what you say about the blogs are true about the 0.22 cents then i do believe that if you have a good idea for a blog and it is a bit long then you sould divide it into 2 blogs. I think it is a better choice, just like you said.

The blog is very informative. I’m a newbie on literacy base, I have found your blog very helpful. I have not yet written any blog, but with so much of information you have laid down Am sure I will be writing my first blog very soon.This has also encouraged me to make valuable comments.

Yes, I think most users concern about how we can redeem from the site, and when we will get paid too. This post will be helpful to many people, even for those who are considering to join.

I am glad to know that the minimum payout is still $10, at least for PayPal, which is my preferably payment processor. If the rule hasn’t changed since the time I joined, as long as we redeem by end of the month, then we will get paid on 10th next month.

I am glad you mentioned the server is slow for everyone as I thought it was just me! I hope they can sort that in time. For now I will just enjoy reading and posting seeing as I am new and the first payday is a long way off.

I just joined and still a baby on this website so far I like what I’ve found and hope to learn new things earn a bit of cash and make some new friends. Thanks for letting me know how people are paid thru this site and for letting me know it’s a bit slow. I love reading different blogs and adding my 2 cents as well.

Tahnks for the info about redemption dates. It was a thing i was wondering about when it comes to payment and you have explained it nicely.

When it comes to the server i have also found that it takes a little long to submit things but this isn’t a veyr big issue for me yet. Either way i hope they fix it. Everybody likes things uploading faster than slower.

There will always be people who have this “crab mentality”. They pull people when they see them succeeding in life.

That’s because they don’t want to be outdone by others, so they pull them down instead, by tainting their reputations and saying lies and making schemes to put them down.

They are envious people. They will also have their time of being pulled down, because karma goes round and round to people who have evil intentions to others.

That is true. Since the parents should be the models to their children, they shouldn’t be watching TV too, but instead be with the children to teach and guide them in their homework.

They should see to it that they will study their lessons. Allow them to watch TV only on Saturdays. Sunday morning and afternoon, they can also be allowed. However in the evening no more. They have to prepare their school bags and do their homework.

Better still on Friday night, they should do their homeworks, so by Sunday night they can just study.

@Dina is right, we only allowed to watch the T.V after finishing our homework or even during Friday night and weekend is better.
My kids only able to watch T.V when they are at their granny’s house, we have no T.V at home, but computer is another kind of T.V too nowadays.

My kids love to watch the Youtube or some videos clips at the social media too, but always restricted by us.

And, we always mention the computer is belong to me, not them, so they can simply manipulate it or doing something on it. They do alert on this.

We allocate 2 hours cartoon watching time every week for them to watch some cartoon at Youtube.
My kids love to watch the Youtube or some videos clips at the social media too, but always restricted by us,same as what mentioned by @michelle

And, we always mention the computer is belong to me, not them, so they can simply manipulate it or doing something on it. They do alert on this.

We allocate 2 hours cartoon watching time every week for them to watch some cartoon at Youtube. They are looking forward to this section every week and have to finish all the homework first.

And, they have ice cream section on Monday but provided have a nail cut first. This help us to set up a life rhythm of the kids, so they won’t have much argument when we urge them to do something as per scheduled.

There’s problems in every country some will have more than others. Once they’ve allowed a lot of injustices to place. They’ll have a difficult time getting the country back to normal. In time problems are solved. Not all at once but trying to solve some is better than letting the matters linger on.

I think using used RV makes sense for rent. I don’t think I’d buy anything long term. I didn’t find much use for the same.

Used cars may fall within the budget but will it be for a long term use? It is impontant to note that though it may be within our budget today, can it be use for a while before requiring servicing. If care is not taken, you can get the car but servicing will end up costing you more which whe putting together could have help you in getting a new car.

As a former car dealer rep, I can tell you not to buy without being informed. Take advantage of all information available in the internet about the car you are interested in and don’t let the rep talk you into a car you don’t want. Also, new cars can be brought at a reasonable low down price especially during the fall months. When you have a lot of new cars on the lot, the dealership is losing money so they have to, practically, settle on low prices in order to get rid of them. Bottom line, whether new or not, do your homework and be informed.

There is nothing in life that does not change at a point in life. As we grow everyday we change in many parts of our life. Chhange is a must in every development. In life there are people who come into our lifes for the following reason. 1) To be a distruction 2) motivators 3) builders 4) forever partners 5) family
As we move on in life some of this people will fall along the road. change is therefore necessary.

Very nice message.I think change acceptance and then working hard for removing some bad things from past requires effort and support.

Division of labour is the fastest way of doing things but the problem with it is that those you assign part of your duties to are not able to accomplish the task the way you will have done or wish for hence you doing everything yourself. With techology all of that is changing as you can now pay all your bills online so the moverment is less.

I usually do the errands on the same time and that’s how I try to save some time.

This is where online transactions comes handy – bills payment.

At our office, we have an employee whose job is to go to banks for the deposits of the different affiliates. Since she also go to the bank where I pay my credit card, I send them through her, because she’s accorded good service since our company is one of the valued clients.

And every Christmas I have a gift for her, for being so gracious in paying my credit card.

So true, we can do some many things online now and included to reduce the numbers of going out and stuck in the traffic jam.
Agree with @Raphael, that we can do more things now in one shot with the current technology level we embraced with. We can paying bill online, blogging at LiteracyBase while having our cloths washing in the washing machine, having our tea cooking in the kitchen and have the vacuum robot to cleaning the floor. Thanks to the innovation and technology!

I love @dina’s way which ask someone to help her to pay for the credit card bill too. We can ask for help around if the one is good and kind enough to give us a hand. Off course, we have to know how to return with kindness too. Thus, Dina has a Christmas gift for her every year, this one of the way.
And, we can bake some cakes, cookies and food for the neighbour whom help us for pay our bills too or run some errands for us, and help in saving our time.

O&M is what management calls it. If one has an organised method lots can be achieved in little time.

Good. It is hope that makes life meaningful.One should have hope for tomorrow.

This is really a pity to see a housewife in that position.Is it not controlling her from doing what she really wants to be? She has been reduced to financially dependent in the society. Doesn’t she have some wishes and desires? How a husband treat his wife like that? Totally shame on him.
Of course, there are some sites that may provide some pocket money. But, they are not reliable.
First, the lady/housewife should have financial freedom and she must be in a position to earn something for her own expenses. If her husband can not fulfill her wants and desires what is the minimum thing he can give her? Totally absurd.

A pity that this housewife is struggling. Those tips are very useful. Now in this time and age, the woman has got to be smart and be self-reliant. If something were to happen to the main breadwinner, she has to step up to the plate. There is a website called the penny hoarder that lists plenty of opportunities to earn some side money as well as some full time positions. It is an informative website that can give anybody ideas to how to make some extra income. Hope this helps.

Yes, I agree. The stay at home wife should do these things so she also can have money of her own to buy whatever she likes to buy.

Having those hobbies turned to business is what I always see on televisions. Some are so artistic, that they make those accessories which they sell online.

A former officemate of mine, resigned because her business of second hand clothes, bags and shoes, became so prolific because she established a niche for Them through her online website where she would take pictures of them and post it in Facebook. Friends and friends of friend , relatives and a lot more would order that she eventually resigned to also have a stall in their house while she also sells them online.

One should really be determined to prosper.

Yes, you are right, @sivasubrahmanyam, that’s really pity that the housewife lose her financial independency after decided to stay at home and take care of the children and the family. In fact, the wife or stay at home one should get paid too, say a quarter of his/her partner’s monthly income as a appreciation of her/his contribution to the family.
Can we image, how much we need to pay for sending the children to the baby sitter? And how much it need for hiring a domestic assistant? The housewife does all this stuffs and get no paid. It is seems a bit not fair to her.
@caleb, thanks for sharing the website. Hope this help for those needed, do the opportunities have any geographical factor restriction?
@michelle, USD20 is too little, right? Agree with you, the housewife need some leaves or “me “ time as the working lady too, and deserve for some pay or something nice or some gifts or a treat. So, my husband treated me and himself too on V day, haha!:P

Thanks for sharing your ideas. I think even when a mother needs to stay at home she should find something she is passionate about and find a way to make some money out of it. Like you said art and crafts come in handly even selling them at a low price it will get you someone to refer you to others and get a little client base on you things.

If you like to write them find a way to make yourself a blog and use google adsense to earn some money.

There are alot of ways to get a little cash. You just need to be a bit creative.

Great article. As a writer, myself, writing can be challenging. It is great when you have inspiration and a theme that you are excited about. On the other hand, it is hard when you have writer’s block. Even the best of writers have had to deal with writer’s block that is why we writers need to be together and share some ideas. There is a saying–Practice makes perfect and this site does that. This is where you can develop your skills and maybe write a book. A goal that every writer should consider in their career.

Writing should be a fun way to express yourself. Even if it is a way to earn some money you should have time off to blow off steam. Time off can even help with coming up with new ideas. A fresh head always work better than a stressful one.

Like you said, each writer has their own method but they need to be careful to not overstress theirselves. It won’t be good for their physical or mental health.

As a writer i think that free time or time were we just let our minds rest are the best times to come up with ideas.

Another way it to work 2 days a week and the other days when you have an idea, you write a draft down to not forget. Then on your writing days you elaborate you ideas.

As a mother the biggest and the most time taking task for me is feeding my son. This is something which is like a burden on my shoulders after every few hours.

I agree to your point that feeding while watching TV is not advisable. But this is my only lifeline. If he is not engrossed in television or tablet he will not open his mouth for sure.

I really wish i will find a solution soon.

hi Dr. Kikol, I have no T.V and no tablet at home only smart phone. But, my 8 year-old daughter might love to read while eating. We will scold her and warn to take away her meal.
Because, we want her to taste, appreciate and enjoy the real food. Your kids might be a little younger, but only serve him food when he is hungry, maybe can help to push him to eat faster or open his mouth. 🙂

And, compete with other same age peer can help the kids to build up good habit too, maybe it will help when he is entering the kinde next year! All the best!

I am happy that you really knows the things to do with regards to the schooling of your kids.

Indeed, it would be nice that the children be sent on an afternoon schedule and would just be fetched by the working mother, as she comes home from work.

Though, I think in our place kindergarten or prep-school starts at about 9:00 a.m. AT least, by then the child could have slept well. ANd yes, they should be trained to sleep early at night so they won’t detest waking up early for school the next day,

Sometimes, we as parents should think of ways on how we can make things easier for our kids lest we too will be stressed by them not waking up early or not wanting to go to school.

@Dina, haha, my solution is not sending him out for nursery, so he can sleep as much as he can, but his father doesn’t like him to sleep too much till too late to wake up.

Yes, agree with you, the pressure from the parent will caused the children not willing to go to nursery and sometimes, too much homework will made the children don’t like to go to nursery too.

Yes, when you are a stay at home, you can just educate your kid yourself. There are a lot of learning books that you can show to him to aid your teaching. Besides indeed you can teach him a lot of things more, like good manners, Godly teachings and yes crafts that a kid can do.

In our times as a kid, we were taught how to read the ABCs through an old retired teacher/ auntie who teaches what we call “kartilla”.

At least before we went to formal first primary grade, we already know how to read as well as write the ABCs amongst other things.

As to the tuition fee, just minimal.

Thanks for sharing, yes, we learnt from some retired teacher or educated auntie or uncles when we were kids, and some of us learn drawing or colouring when attended the class in the church. The guide taught us sing and dance as well. What a sweet memory.

I prefer to let my kid stay at home not only cost saving, but I don’t want him to be burdened by too many home work, have no time to play around and climb the trees. Hahah!

Music will be pleasant to the heart. It soothes our mind and soul. The lyrics and the tone play a vital role when it makes everybody like it. The lyrics give a boost to the mind and the tone of the music to the heart. The combination of these two will always make it great. Of course, not everybody can not appreciate it. It all depends on the mood of the listener. The reason for not attracting many depends on what the listener actually wants to hear and where?

The 90 are somewhat rigorous for the music with some minimum rules to be observed in the usage of lyrics. The people of 90 liked it and those who are expecting more and more find it hard to digest as their favorite and move on to the lyrics and music of their choice. Of course, this, we may call by any name. May be a ‘new experiment’ ‘innovation’ with so many attaches and exclusion which are all appearing as ‘inclusions’ found in a Diamond to give it a category and grade.
The comeback is not an easy task. The lovers have gone and reached to a different style and are preferring to stand on another platform. To catch that platform the only way is to add some more variety to the music which may be ‘another innovative style’. One generation is searching for different styles in the name of FURTHER INNOVATION AND THE old 90s are trying to catch the style which is totally out of date for the after 90s generation. Even if they catch killing their own self-conscience and make a compromise with the flow of the generation it does not find an appropriate place.
So, finally realizing the impossibility of catching and moving with the new generation they either disappear from the scene or take up a different profession (of it will be too late for them) and finally they become OLD RAGS.

Though I may say, that some singers would revive some songs from long ago, but would somehow have a different tune on some parts and I must say it is not nice to listen. I still would prefer the old style.

Lucky are the old singers because even if they die, their music lives and would still continue to give the family of the singer the proceeds from their royalty.

Take for example , Michael Jackson, he may have been dead, but still his music is always being played by radios. He may be dead but his music still lives and continue to give royalties to his children.

I’ve always believed in divine grace and have proven many times how the Lord intervenes to give meaning and purpose to our life.

I am a firm believer of God. He helped in times, when I cannot do anything anymore and is always just waiting for me to call on him at times, when I can’t anymore.

Having experienced his loving hands, I never let a day pass by without expressing my gratitude for his love.

People might say that how come we still encounter trials if we are always praying. My answer, that’s because these trials are what make Him so powerful or show his strength. When are are at our weakest, He is at his strongest. We only have to call.

People who do thing to put a man down, are just envious.

I can read through your posts that you are a wise person who think of ways on how to be able to economize and be able to save a lot when purchasing insurances and the like.

Actually, we don’t have those accident insurances. Although, when you ride a bus going to Manila, you will be made to choose if your buy an insurance for only 20 pesos (US$ .02), good only in case you met an accident on that trip.

Even airplanes have insurance coverage inclusive of the airfare paid.

We also have our accident insurance coverage for each employees at the office.

＠Dina，ｓｏ　do you buy the insurance when ride the bus?

I cannot agree more. One will have to take several breaks in a day or week from social media to ‘detox’ from all the negativity and of course, to get some physical exercise.

Indeed when the social media you are registered with has some trolls bullying you, it can be detrimental to your health especially when exchange of not nice words were hurled at each other already.

Luckily, I have my account on private setting. That way, not anyone can go directly to my account and bully me.

Most of the times, those that are bullied are on public setting. Besides, maybe their posts is something that can incite bad emotions such as the post can be so bragging. Or those who constantly posts selfies of themselves because others find it offensive that you are so finding yourself beautiful. ha ha ha
